We need Paul Ryan to enter the race.
You don’t make any sense. First you say:
“Republicans and Democrats agree that the purpose of the State is redistribution. How much, and to whom, and under what circumstances, there are disagreements. But no elected officials of either Party believe that it is wrong to take from you and give to another of their own choosing, for reasons that make sense to them.”
Which I agree with. But then you call for Paul Ryan to enter the race, which I took to mean you thought he would be a good candidate (correct me if I’m wrong). But Paul Ryan believes just as much in redistribution of wealth as anyone already on the GOP ticket. If you go to his roadmap website, you see that he believes Medicare/Medicaid are “critical” programs that need saving. He refers to Social Security as an “important retirement program.” He says nothing about ending the U.S. Department of Education, among other unconstitutional monstrosities.
Ryan believes in these programs (and scores of others) because he’s a socialist. So why do you think we need yet ANOTHER Republican socialist in the race?
